#always wonderful to hear feedback from owners of actual sighthound dogs

[canisalbus]

As the proud owner of a sighthound dog, I absolutely love how you portray sighthounds in your art! I've always thought my dog had a beautiful, somewhat regal look about him sometimes, so it was wonderful to see that displayed in Machete when he's wearing his fancy outfits. You also captured a lot of sighthound personality traits really well, my sighthound is a protective, high strung guy who loves cuddles and food. When I saw your comic of Machete saying "I love you, but don't come any closer (to my souffle)" I laughed to myself thinking that was exactly something my dog would say if he could talk, and he would absolutely be a fidgeter if he had hands. Thanks for the sighthound rep! More people should draw these beautiful dogs!

Oh, thank you so much!

That's one of the things I love about sighthounds, they have the potential to look so distinctly regal, elegant and artistic, but they're also goofy in their own way and often have this worried sad-eyed noodle creature feel to them. I just think they're neat.

I'm glad to hear you think I'm doing them justice! I'm certainly trying my best ´v`'

Give your boy scritches from me!

#always wonderful to hear feedback from owners of actual sighthound dogs #especially something as positive as this #answered #anonymous #sometimes I worry I'm doing sighthounds as a whole a disservice by having characters like Machete #with his kind of weird scrunkly looks gloomy backstory and challenging personality #he isn't the most flattering representation and I draw him profusely and post him all over the interwebs #so it's good to be reminded that isn't necessarily the case I guess
